583 Burning Yangtze River (23)
Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong led the army, followed behind Guan Yu, and entered Linxiang City together.
In Linxiang City, Guan Yu had already arranged a qiē, and when Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong arrived here, Jian Yong, the chief bookkeeper beside Guan Yu, immediately brought Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong to the living room with a smile, and then personally arranged for the soldiers brought by Ling Cao.
In the hall of the government office in Linxiang City, Guan Yu sat in the center, Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong sat on both sides, and they came to accompany Chen Dao, Liu Bei's personal guard in the past.
After the wine and food were served, Guan Yu picked up the wine jue poured in front of him, raised it high, and said with a smile: "The three generals came from afar, and they were tired of saddle horses along the way, it was really hard, Guan Mou is here to toast the three generals with a glass!" ”
After Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong heard Guan Yu's words, they all looked at each other, they delayed the agreed date of arriving here, Zhang Fei was defeated because of this, Guan Yu didn't even blame them at all, which made them really a little puzzled.
However, when they saw Guan Yu's sincere face, it didn't look like he was going to play any tricks, the three of them had some doubts, and finally Ling Cao spoke.
"General Guan, we can't miss the appointment, so that General Zhang is defeated in Wuling, we and the other three can't escape the blame for this matter, and I hope that General Guan will be punished heavily!" Ling Cao said very sincerely.
After Guan Yu heard this, he waved his hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with you, it's my third brother who doesn't listen to my orders." Bent. Caused by unauthorized sending of troops. It had been raining a few days ago, which made the roads muddy and impossible to walk, and the roads in Jingnan were not very easy to walk, which no one could have predicted, so don't take this matter to heart. Come on, drink, drink. Today, Guan will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you. You must drink to your heart's content, for after tomorrow you may not be able to drink for a long time. ”
Ling Cao asked, "Why is that?" ”
"Because from tomorrow, I'm going to enforce a ban on alcohol, and it's not too late to drink and celebrate after I've won the battle!" Guan Yu said.
Everyone felt that what Guan Yu said was very right, since Guan Yu did not pursue their intentions, they were relieved, and immediately the three of them began to drink bowl after bowl under the persuasion of Guan Yu and Chen Zhi. In the end, I was so drunk that I couldn't wake up. Lying directly under the table and getting drunk, after a while, the three of them were already snoring, like rolling thunder.
However, Guan Yu and Chen Zhi also drank a lot of wine, but they were never drunk, and the mystery of this was only known to Guan Yu and Chen Zhi.
At the beginning, Guan Yu and Chen Zhi did drink wine, but what they drank later was water, but they just put water in the wine jar.
Therefore, don't look at Guan Yu and Chen Zhi, they also drank bowl after bowl, but they were never drunk, and still stood in front of Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong, so that Fu Fu mistakenly thought that they had a good amount of alcohol.
Looking at Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong, who fell to the ground and fell asleep, Chen Zhi walked to Guan Yu's side, bowed down and asked, "Second Master, what should these three people do?" ”
"The three of them did not make an appointment, and they strictly delayed the fighter, causing the third brother to fail, and Changsha fell into danger, which is really a great crime. You immediately took a group of people, locked these three people in a prison car, and sent them to Nanchang overnight, telling Sun Quan all the facts about this place, and asking Sun Quan to send them down. Guan Yu said.
"Second Master, if the three of them are sent away as prisoners, what will happen to the army they brought? That's 30,000 people, and if they gather to make trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable. Chen Zhi said in his shoes.
Guan Yu said: "You don't have to worry about it, I have my own way to deal with them, you just have to be responsible for sending the three of them to Nanchang safely and handing them over to Sun Quan." In addition, by the way, I found a way to take out the eldest brother, the third brother, and my family together, and the province became Sun Quan's hostage at that time. ”
"Whoa!" Chen Zhi responded, and then said, "Second Master, now the shape is very unfavorable to us, although I don't know anything about fighting, but fortunately, my martial arts are good, I can protect the second master by the second master's side, if I leave, then who will protect the second master?" Why don't you go to Nanchang with another person? ”
Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I don't really believe in anyone else except you, and it is by no means easy to take all the family members out." Therefore, this time you have to go with a hundred elite soldiers with you, and you must pick them up, only in this way can I be assured of fighting on the front line. Besides, in my life, I have rarely met an opponent, and among the enemies I have encountered, the only person who can defeat me is Lu Bu. It's a pity that Lu Bu has already died, and I really haven't taken them into account for the rest. ”
Guan Yu's words were full of arrogance, and he had the potential to look down on the world.
Chen Zhi said for a while, and reminded: "Second master, this time it was Zhang Yan who personally led the army to the expedition, and I have long heard that there were five tiger generals under his account, this time in the south, Zhang Yan will definitely mobilize elite soldiers and strong generals, although the second master is powerful, but after all, it is only one person, if the five tiger generals of the year flank the second master together, the second master is difficult to defeat with two fists and four hands, I am afraid of ......"
Having said this, Chen Zhi didn't say any more, but directly stopped the conversation, changed the conversation, and hurriedly said: "In short, the second master is better to be careful!" ”
"Don't worry, I'm in control!" Guan Yu said.
Chen Zhi said: "Second master, then I will leave tonight, second master be careful!" ”
Guan Yu nodded, called his henchmen, and asked them to carry Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong all the three people into the prisoner car that had been prepared a long time ago, and then ordered a hundred personal soldiers and handed them over to Chen Zhi, who led them to Nanchang.
At this moment, the troops brought by Ling Cao, Pan Zhang, and Tan Xiong were also drunk, and those who were persuaded by the people brought by Jian Yong were all drunk and unconscious.
Not long after, Guan Yu led the army to surround the entire military camp from the outside, and then sent people in to collect all the weapons and baggage in the military camp and transport them to the arsenal for safekeeping.
The next day, the morning sun was rising, and the strong sunlight stung Ling Cao's eyelids, forcing him to open his eyes, only to see that he was lying in a prisoner car, walking on a rough road, and his body was about to fall apart. He thought he was dreaming, but after rubbing his eyes, he realized that it was not a dream, but the real world. In addition to him, there were two prisoner cars in front, and there were drunk Pan Zhang and Tan Xiong lying on the prisoner carts, this sudden scene made Ling Cao directly dumbfounded, yesterday he was obviously still drinking with Guan Yu, why was he in the prison car when he opened his eyes today.
Ling Cao quickly glanced around, and saw that these people were all wearing strong uniforms, without any banners, and he couldn't tell who they were, but they revealed the aura of a soldier.
"Hey! Stop, where am I? Ling Cao felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart, and hurriedly shouted loudly at the people outside the prisoner car. (To be continued......)
